How to Run a Package

If you find a package you like, just press the “Run” Run Button button.

Example package

The following is an example of a package:

Package Details

As you can see it has the following information:
  • Name: The name of the package. Which in this case is “Crossword Puzzle”. We can assume that this package will generate a crossword puzzle.
  • Description: A brief description of what the package does. In this case it says “Creates a playable crossword puzzle with a theme”.
  • Runs: How many times that package has been run by users.
  • Last Updated: The last time the package was updated.
If we hit the “Run” Run Button button, we will be presented with the Package Input overlay. After you fill out the fields in the overlay, then your package will begin to run.

Input Overlay

The input overlay is where you can input the data that the package needs to run.

Input Fields

In this case, the package requires the following inputs:
  • Theme: The theme of the crossword puzzle.
  • Number of Words: The number of words in the crossword puzzle.
Other useful information is also provided:
  • Credits: The number of credits required to run the package (in this case “13”).
About credits — Not all packages require credits. Some packages use no A.I. and are free to run.

Crossword Example

Once any package is run, it will generate a result. The result of this package is a playable crossword puzzle game. As an example, let’s say we input the following:
Theme: car manufacturers
Number of Words: 10
We would end up with a 10 word playable and printable crossword puzzle game with a “Car manufacturers” theme.

Inputless Packages

What is an “Inputless” package?

There are some packages that do not require any input. These packages are usually simple and do not require any customization. An example of this is the “Today’s Bitcoin Price” package. This package simply returns the current price of Bitcoin.

Inputless package confirmation

When you run an inputless package, you will be presented with a confirmation overlay. This overlay will show you the package details and ask you to confirm that you want to run the package.
Just because a package has no inputs, doesn’t mean it won’t use any credits. Be sure to double check you have enough credits to run it.

Why are inputless packages useful?

You might be wondering — why would something like Today’s Bitcoin Price be useful? The power of an inputless package is seen when you include it in a larger package. For example, you could use the “Today’s Bitcoin Price” package in a package that sends a daily newlsetter about bitcoin. GPT, or any large language model, doesn’t know the current price of Bitcoin. Therefore, you could use the “Today’s Bitcoin Price” package in your prompt to get the current price and then generate a newsletter based on that information.

Seeing the results

Once your package is done running (it should take a few seconds), then you can see the results.

Go to Runs Tab

Click “runs” on the left sidebar
To find the results of any package run, you have to go to the runs tab. It automatically shows the most recent runs, but you can also see past runs.

Find Run Contents

Once you click on the run tab, you will see all the runs you have done. Clicking on a run will show you the contents of that run.

Open the Run Inspector

After clicking on a piece of content in the run, the run inspector will appear. The run inspector allows you to see inputs, outputs, each step of the package and the final result.

Wrapping Up

The best way to learn about packages is to run them. You can find a list of public/official packages on the browse page within packages. The list is growing daily.
